Chapter 1299: Belittlement
Even through the phone, Camille could clearly sense Page's anger. She shouted, "Camille, are you not
listening to me now?"
"You're thinking too much. I've been listening. If I don't wait for you to finish speaking, will you blame
me for being impolite and disrespectful?"
Camille spoke lightly, without any hint of aggression in her tone. It seemed as if she no longer cared
about Page's attitude or reaction.
Of course, Page was extremely unhappy with this attitude. She had a cold expression on her face, full
of hostility, and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything!"
"Then are you going to find Horace or not?"novelbin
"Where should I find him?"
"You can't find him? Don't you know to ask Ayan for help? Don't you have a good relationship with
Ayan? Can't you ask him for assistance? Although you have a good relationship with him, you should
know that you will always be an outsider in the Simpson family. Do you know what an outsider is? It
means that no matter how well they treat you, you will never be one of their own. You should remember
your own surname."
These words had been repeated countless times. Camille felt like she could recite them backward
effortlessly. She sighed silently and finally interrupted Page's words, asking, "So, you want me to
involve Ayan in Armstrong Corp's affairs. Are you prepared for the fact that Ayan might also want a
piece of the pie?"
"Isn't the Simpson Group enough? Don't you know the current situation of Armstrong Corp? At this
time, you still want to benefit from it. Are you trying to infuriate me? Can't you stand the Armstrong
family being in a good position?"
Page started another round of bombardment. This time, Camille decided to cut her off directly, with a
slightly stern tone, "If you continue speaking like this, then don't call me anymore."
Page was taken aback because Camille rarely used such a cold and stern tone when talking to her.
Even when her attitude was very poor, it was always cold and indifferent, not oppressive like it felt now.
During Page's silence, Camille spoke calmly and unhurriedly, "Since you believe that any benefits of
the Armstrong family have nothing to do with me, how can you ask for my help when the Armstrong
family has a problem? Are you putting yourself in a difficult position or me? Do you think I would
genuinely help the Armstrong family? After all, it doesn't benefit me in any way. In your eyes, I am just a
selfish person. Why would I help?"
Normally, Camille wouldn't be so blunt. At most, she would pretend not to hear or let it go in one ear
and out the other. But now her mood was far from beautiful, especially when she thought about those
terrible things. She found it irritating, and Page's call at this time, questioning and instructing her
without any distinction, was something Camille couldn't tolerate.
Camille took a deep breath and, without waiting for Page to speak, said again, "Don't call me anymore.
I won't help the Armstrong family with anything. I've already sold my shares in Armstrong Corp to
Horace. It's your business with him now. It has nothing to do with me. If you want me to get involved in
Armstrong Corp's affairs, then transfer a portion of your shares to me. It's as simple as that!"
After finishing her words, Camille hung up the phone without giving Page any chance to respond.
Her expression was extremely indifferent, her gaze coldly fixed on the disconnected phone. A chilling
sensation emerged in her eyes. After taking a deep breath, she regained her composure and resumed
working.
Camille didn't pay much attention to the matter because she adapted quickly and had long given up
hope for the Armstrong family. It didn't have much impact on her.
However, Page harbored great resentment towards Camille for her words and for abruptly ending the
call. This incident led to a significant dispute between Page and Brody once again.
Page was asked by Brody to make the call since they couldn't reach Horace. There was no trace of
Horace at the company, and the secretary didn't mention anything about his schedule. This displeased
Brody greatly. He believed that as the chairman of Armstrong Corp, even if Horace was currently
handling all the affairs, he still needed to report regularly and inform him of his schedule.
But Horace didn't do that, and Brody felt that Horace didn't value him.
Brody was a person with deep insecurities yet immense arrogance. Whenever someone showed even
a slight coldness towards him, he felt they were looking down on him and disrespecting him. He
unconsciously magnified all his thoughts and emotions, giving rise to various dissatisfactions.
Of course, the purpose of that call was for Camille to ask Ayan to investigate Horace, but Camille
refused and questioned Page instead.
They used to argue, but it never reached the point of pushing someone down and rubbing their face in
the ground. Now, Brody was completely disregarding any sense of dignity, and every word was filled
with great mockery and belittlement.
The conflicts between the two had been increasing, especially because Armstrong Corp was currently
being overshadowed. They couldn't hold their heads up high in public. After all, their company was
being controlled by outsiders, and many people were laughing behind their backs. Although Brody
would claim that others were working for him and he could enjoy it from home, only he knew the true
bitterness and pain. Read at Drам?novels.coм
Thinking about all these things, Page's mood became extremely bad.
